probably regular shaft or i am using the wrong one, i hit my driver around the 270-300 yard mark with roll. Drive the 18th at ours that is 303 yards, hit my 9 iron around the 150-160yards, 7 iron to me is about 170-180 yards. This is all when i hit it correctly, lol

My driver swing speed at the Belfy when i got my driver was about 90mph.

Driver speed of 90 and your distance is 270+? I reckon that's a smash factor of over 2...! Errrr, no. Something aint right there sir.


I must swing quicker than i use to when i got fitted. It was about 8 months ago now and about 50 rounds ago.

You've increased your driver speed by about 20-25 mph in 8 months? And still the same driver and flex? :D

It looks like you have enough info to make a decision, but just in case it helps a little more...

I've been fitted twice for driver. First time ss 105-107 produced carry of ~250. Second time ss 101-103 was carrying ~240.
Total including roll depends on other factors as well but I'd guess I'm around 260 with a smooth swing.
With that in mind I'd put you at between 105-110mph.

Fwiw my 7i carries ~160 and my ss was high 80's with it.

The shaft you can get away with also depends on how smooth your tempo is but I'd say stiff was a fairly safe bet for you. Maybe 70g+ as I find the 60g's a little whippy. The PX shaft in the 910D is 73g ;).
I'd still suggest trying a few as they can behave very differently.
